>“We have not planned sufficiently. There was a review undertaken by the national organisation and that hasn’t been released yet. It was finished ages ago,” he said.

>“I wonder why that hasn’t been worked on. Dare I say because it contains some really gut-wrenching facts.”

>The report, an Office of National Intelligence investigation into the national security threat posed by climate change, was completed some time this year, but the federal government is refusing to release even a ‘sanitised’ version of the findings

This is such a bad take. Speculation causes there to be so much misdirection and strawman that it reduces the impact once it finally does get put out. (It's already been debated, jokes about, reported on, speculated about, etc).

The government needs to release it. Saying that we'll all die in agony is ridiculous.

Then we might start to look more seriously at the real causes of climate change and pollution.


It won't be long before the entire interior of Australia is nothing but desert.


Maybe it needs the military to eventually tackle climate change - scary thought though.
